Looking like a real winner, John!

Hope so Neil, today was a trial , and it turned into one! Still that's the nature of trying out news things.

John,

That's coming on nicely.

Well done.

Andrew

Thanks Andrew.

Hi Rick, will do.

Having had further discussions with Dude 1 and spent some time looking at film of launches things have changed, as these photos will show.Some of the film was in colour, and I couldn't see any red, the only time large amounts of black smoke appeared was when the whole load had been fired. I slowed down the film to a quarter speed and paused .





So you can see how long the smoke trail with the propellent is . Tomorrow another test will be done.

Now tell me,yesterday I burnished the tracks, washed and laid them out to dry. Then put on a tile on the bench and laid them side by side , both the same lenght. This morning I looked and one is 3 links short ?
Answers please. Now got to add those three links and burnish them to match :angry:

No issue here, it is the link fairy, she arrives every night and removes a link as payment for not putting a tooth under your pillow for the tooth fairy. Next you will be visited by the plastic goblin, he is the one that arrives just before you duck your head under the bench to pick up that bit you dropped, he then takes it away to teach you the lesson about putting a tooth under your pillow at night for the tooth fairy. At the midnight hour you will be visited by the wide awake fairy, it is she that keeps you awake worrying about where you are going to get the tooth to put under your pillow for the tooth fairy. So stop being a tight wad and put a tooth under your pillow - SWMBO now has only three teeth in her head :tongue-out3:

Please Rick, do not tell JR to lick the track, had a heck of a time when I told him he had the electrics licked......:flushed:

Hey Ron, it's good to see I'm not the only one in this boat. I guess that's why I never finish anything. Too many little details to add and not enough time in this life to do it. Hope all is ok on you end Bro.........

No Youngerthanme, you just like to look at the pretty pictures and leave all the big words to us oldies.... :nerd:

Not trying to steal John's thunder, but it's still in the planning/working stages and the smoke is in it's infancy. He hasn't even started with the coloring or the pastels yet. The webbing is Halloween spider web decoration in a bag. Comes with black plastic spiders too. Cheap, as I bought a bag with 9 spiders and a lot of webbing for €1,50 in the €1 store. It's tightly packed, but you can pull it apart and tease it into pretty cool looking smoke. Some of you may remember this,

I used the webbing (without the spiders) and various pastels to do it. We know John will nail this puppy for sure.

Sorry for the diversion Dude 2.............

Great idea Youngerthanme, but only you could get ripped off in the 1euro store for 1.50euro. (Sorry do not have euro sign on my keyboard, only have 1950 keyboard).

Funny, as my 1960 keyboard doesn't have a Pound sign either. I went by the €1 store earlier and the same bag of webbing is now smaller and costs €2 to buy. I think you get less spiders too!!! Damn gangsters they are.......

Great to see you haven't lost your touch in your old age Mike.....

PS, I try not to suggest things like Rick and you to our buddy John. We want to keep him around for a while and in one piece...........

'Ats OK Mike, I don't have a pound key either......I think my keyboard is racist LOL :tongue-out3: By the way....you didn't mention the bench Fairy,......that's the one that causes you to bump your head when getting out from under the bench, after you have discovered that the carpet monster has once again had a tasty lunch at your expense. :tired: Rick H.
